| Amendment Description | On February 8, 2024, Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “ICE”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend Part IV, Item 15 of the 2023 Form 10-K to provide the financial statements of Bakkt Holdings, Inc. (“Bakkt”) filed pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. Bakkt was a significant equity investee under Rule 3-09 for the year ended December 31, 2022. We concluded that Bakkt no longer meets the significance test for the year ended December 31, 2023. However, in accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, as Bakkt met the significance test for a prior year presented in the financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K, this Amendment No. 1 is being filed to provide the financial statements of Bakkt. No other changes are being made to the 2023 Form 10-K pursuant to this Amendment No. 1. The consolidated financial statements of Bakkt as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 provided hereby were prepared and provided to us by Bakkt. Except as otherwise expressly noted, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update in any way (i) the consolidated financial position, the results of operations or cash flows of the Company, or (ii) the disclosures in or exhibits to the 2023 Form 10-K; nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the 2023 Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the 2023 Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after the filing of the 2023 Form 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Furthermore, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the SEC. | | |
